Ram normally Non ECC?

I always thought it was Non ECC. Went into my bios to see something and it was enabled. Disabled it so Im confused.

ECC is slightly slower, but more stable because it uses an extra clock cycle for error checking. I doubt you would notice much difference either way.

Yeah but if it is enabled and you dont have it?

Are you sure it's not ECC? ECC is pretty common with DDR2 and DD3. It may not be fully registered/buffered, but it can still be ECC.

You typically won't need ECC as it's usually reserved for server memory.
